I don't get what the issue is with Booger's report. He, I and several others watched the match live 'together' and it is factual.During the match, he was the first person to acknowledge and post Andy's mention of being tired, sick and playing bad.If the issue is because of the word 'fractuous'.. then why? He was fractuous at times. So what?If the issue is because of the word 'speculate,' then I would concur there has been much speculation over what Andy's health issue is on the threads today. i.e. Is it a common cold, did he catch something on the plane, is it an infection etc. etc. etc...

I don't know Boogers at all, but I do know he has been here for several years and has taken time out of his personal life to do numerous and often excellent match reports for the benefit of MW, and I appreciate his contribution.In my view he has earned his stripes here.

It was fine up to this line "Thankfully the Scot upped his level and ground out the win - but it wasn't pretty.", he spent 4 paragraphs describing the bad play in the 1st set, then rounded off the entire 2nd and 3rd with that one line in which he also intentionally gave a little dig towards Andy in by saying "but it wasn't pretty".

Basically he gave a one-sided view concentrating only on the negatives aspects for Murray, which isn't good reporting at all.

Comments such as "We can speculate on the tiredness and sickness.." are typical of this reporter

Settle down. Murray hasn't spoken much about being ill (excluding the unguarded remarks captured by the courtside microphones) so any talk about illness is speculation. We don't know if he's just got a bad cold sore, or if he's actually very sick indeed.

Andy wasn't fractious, a word that suggests he was irritable throughout the match.

He spent the entire match cursing. He smashed a racquet. He got a code violation late in the match for thrashing a ball out of the stadium. He very much appeared to be bad tempered and easily irritable. Fractious.

I'm quite sure that if I had to play a match against a tricky opponent whilst ill I'd be fractious. It's simply a statement of fact, not a damning indictment against him as a person.

Basically he gave a one-sided view concentrating only on the negatives aspects for Murray, which isn't good reporting at all.

Ignoring the fact that I had urgent business to attend to which precluded me from finishing a detailed treatment of the second and third sets, there really wasn't much positive to report at all beyond "Murray won".

As always, if you feel you can do better then please do so. We're always looking for erudite contributors.

At least Murray was feeling a little better than he had earlier in the week, even if did not look like a well man. Still trying to shake off a virus infection, he was gulping down air after long rallies and could not find the spark he needed to ignite his game until deep into the match.

“I just picked the bug up on the flight,” Murray said. “I had a sore throat and swollen glands. Then it kind of went down to my chest and I haven’t been able to get rid of it.”

I wonder how many of you realise what it takes to be a member of the entirely voluntary MW news team? Not only is a good technical knowledge of the game required but also the ability to make the best use of the English language and to write factually, concisely and clearly. In fact the standard of reporting on MW is expected to be the same as that found in leading national newspapers, and during my three years on here that has always been the case, so I take my hat off to all of them.

All that and they often sound even better than what the papers say next day.

I do enjoy reading the match reports. They reflect what has happened on court and are therefore either good entertainment or sometimes depressing. And each reporter sees such a match with different eyes apart from the obvious facts. Some criticize his demeanour on court, others are relaxed about it, some want to see a fighter in any match, others concede him to be allowed to a bad day at the office. So what? But never have I had the feeling that the writer wishes to take Andy apart. From what most posters have said here I see one clear message:Andy has produced the most exciting summer (tennis-wise, because we all have a life beyond GS and Masters) for himself and his supporters and makes us look forward to the coming events with joy. So, therefore thank you to everybody who invests his time and skills in creating this community, which I would not be able to do.

To me Boogers is an integral part of my Murray World experience. Particularly his appearances on the live match threads.

He represents the part of me that is thinking “What is that stupid bugger doing out there?! Why is being so passive?!” etc. while I am actually posting “MON’ ANDY!” There has been many, many times whilst he has been pointing out to us all just how pathetic Andy’s play is or predicting Andy’s loss of the match, I wished he was within arms reach so I could grab him by the throat and shut the ******* up! (Or, at least have him in hologram form so I could shout at it/him and throw stuff at him!) But, as many times as I have felt the need to grab him, I have enjoyed witnessing an Andy come-back that shuts the ******* up! (And I kind of suspect that Boogers has been expecting that come-back all along).

Boogers is my alter ego’s voice of all those many times that Andy Murray is not playing like Andy Murray can/should. He relates those times like they are; No thrills, no excuses, no bull****!

Boogers is the fan that lives within us all who knows Andy can play a lot better than that and he sets out to let us all know that he is pissed off that Andy is not!

Boogers has been a devoted fan long enough to merit being an integral. Without Boogers out there, Murray World would not be the Murray World we all know and Andy’s match turn-arounds would not be as half enjoyable as they are. . Thanks for your input and keep up the good work Boogers. (Ya *******!)
